On September 10, 2017, the weather was sunny

The crowded and busy Rongcheng International Airport welcomed four special passengers - Liu Wei / Gao Bailu / Shinichi Morikawa / Shinji Morikawa to fly to Dubai!

I didn't have much luggage, just my own medium-sized toolbox, which contained tools/weapons/dollars and many other prohibited items that were illegal to transport.

But they made it through security

Because the toolbox has a shielding function

The fluoroscopy X-ray machine can only be seen inside, and it is filled with pliers, hammers, micrometers, multimeters, vernier calipers, and other non-threatening and very common things.

The toolbox is checked in and boarded, and there is no need to contact the mercenaries, and Liu Wei and the four of them said goodbye to the boss and Wei Daji Yuan and left, without attracting attention.

Dressed in a suit and leather shoes, he looks like a mercenary advance team of business elites, flying to Dubai International Airport on a Boeing 787 to Mogadishu.

Mogadishu, the nominal capital of Somalia, is barely a historical city, and Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty passed through it when he went to the West.

Located in the northern part of Africa, at the junction of Asia and Africa, with an excellent geographical location in the Gulf of Aden, it is a good place to develop shipping/fishing/ports!

However, the African black brother has collapsed...

The situation of piracy/civil war/poverty/drought/warlord division is extremely serious, and they are all vying for territory, but the land is the least valuable, and there are too many deserts and Gobi.

Buying land is quite cheap, and it is estimated that the Gobi wasteland is about the same as giving away it for nothing; one million dollars can legally occupy dozens of square kilometers at will, and you can do anything.

The key is that you have to be able to keep it!

The north is occupied by Puntland, Somaliland, and southwestern powers, and the south is plagued by terror, and the official area of rule is limited to the capital and a few towns.

There are also small warlords/pirate organizations/terrorists who are making trouble all over the country, and the people are miserable and miserable, and many young people join the pirates just to make ends meet.

And Liu Wei's target is Kismayo

The largest port city in southern Somalia

Quite simply, the government has control over this place, but it doesn't have enough influence, and the society is very chaotic, there are ports and airports, and there are a lot of people!

Kismayo, in southern Somalia, has slightly better rainfall and agriculture, and is relatively peaceful and stable, with plenty of hidden locations in the mountainous areas, which can be described as vast and sparsely populated.

Liu Wei and his group of four people analyzed and decided to go to the southwest region of Kismayo on the passenger plane, and first contact the low-level official administrative departments to familiarize themselves with social forces.

Staff Officer Liu Wei used a supercomputer to inquire about materials/intelligence/secret information from network channels---

1. The official power is the largest/there is an army

2. There are many small warlords/tribes

3. Social order is chaotic / there are many pirates

However, there is no large-scale war, and the security in the city of Kismayo is not so exaggerated, and it is certainly not a problem to recruit and train local mercenaries!

After arriving at Dubai International Airport, Liu Wei led the leading team to go shopping and send it to the airline, mainly to buy various medicines/electronic products/daily necessities.

Trauma medicine, debridement kit, common medicine, mobile phone, satellite signal cooker, TV, computer, projection, electromagnetic interference equipment parts, generator, solar energy...

It costs $85,000 and it's expensive!

In addition, he made a reservation for Kismayo's hotel and shuttle buses, so that he could go directly to the hotel, and then arranged for the purchase of pickup trucks, weapons, and construction materials.

Rigorous planning is carried out in an orderly manner...

At 6:00 p.m. sharp, on November September, a large passenger plane landed in Kismayo, and everything was very backward in the dilapidated airport, the dilapidated port docks, and the city.

Similar to what China looked like in the 80s!

As expected, Africa's poverty and backwardness are in contrast to Dubai, and the contrast between one in the sky and one in the ground is extremely obvious and very touching.

Of course, this is to say that ordinary humans, robots will not be bored with sighs, Liu Wei / Morikawa Shinichi / Morikawa Shinji and Gao Bailu four people, pick up their luggage and leave

Bring their own tools/$800,000 in cash/more than $600,000 in deposits, and they have reserved a car for the hotel and are already waiting outside.

It will be two days before the consignment is delivered...

"This country is really backward!" Staff Officer Liu Wei looked at the city of Kismayo, all of which were two or three stories tall and small yellow-colored buildings, which were dilapidated.

But I have to admit that it is quite lively, and these African people who are trying to survive in the chaos have long been accustomed to the living environment in troubled times, and they have become very numb to war!

Chaos / poverty / turmoil / warlordism is conducive to the development of mercenaries, and the social conditions in Somalia are simply a natural base camp for mercenaries. ”

"The development and rise of the pirate organization is enough to prove that this soil is breeding negative elements such as violence, darkness, and murderous intent, which is very suitable for us. ”

"The mercenary's... The Chosen One!"

[Scout] Morikawa Shinichi carefully observed the surrounding environment with a cold gaze, analyzed a lot of useful information from small details, and answered Staff Officer Liu Wei.

"And, there are no constraints/no natural enemies, the weapon camp is not a problem, there is a market demand, and the source of troops can be constantly replenished, the boss is very wise!"

Liu Wei nodded and said: "Of course, the reason why the boss chose African Somalia is not arbitrary, let's go back to the hotel to settle down first, and then we will act!"

The best hotel in Kismayo is a barely three-star guesthouse with six floors, and they open two luxury suites for $180/day.

Put away your toolbox and head out with your money---

First of all, you have to buy two pickup trucks, the smuggling warehouse next to the port is good, specializing in selling smuggled cars, there are various brands of European, American, Japanese and Korean cars, and of course there are high-yield.

It's a pity that mercenaries don't like domestic cars!

Toyota, Dodge, Ford, Nissan, Great Wall and other brands have the most pickup trucks in Africa, each with its own advantages, and Ford belongs to high-end brands, such as the F150.

In the end, I also bought two F150 pickups.

The smuggling price is 50,000 US dollars, which is cheap, much cheaper than the Chinese price, only 100,000 US dollars, and the mercenaries give it without blinking an eye, and drive away arrogantly.

Go directly to another smuggling warehouse, according to secret information on the Internet, it sells machinery/weapons/products and other prohibited profiteering products, and the owner is an American.

[M-16 automatic rifle] $600 × $100

[Barrett sniper rifle] $4000 ×5

[Gatling heavy machine gun] 20,000 ×2

[RPG Bazooka] $4000 ×3

[100,000 rounds of ammunition of all types] $135,000

Grenades / grenades / explosives / accessories etc...

The guns are cheap, but the ammunition is expensive, and it costs a total of $330,000 to buy them!

The boss was stunned.
